Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse develops spontaneous T1D and has been used extensively to study the genetic control of this disease. T1D is suppressed in NOD mice congenic for the C57BL/10 (B10)-derived Idd9 resistance region on chromosome 4. Previous studies conducted by other investigators have identified four...
